'I meet Ant and Dec on several occasions over several months, in production meetings, on film sets and photoshoots, and they are the only famous people I have ever known to be exactly – exactly – the same as their public persona.'

because whilst watching them on tv have often wondered whether they can really be as nice (in my opinion) in real life as they come across on screen.

Really nice interview, thanks for link. I don't like everything they've done but I do really like them and that they've remained so un-showbizzy and true to themselves. And I do believe that what you see on screen is very much what you get with them, and it's down to the very real and solid and enduring friendship they have.
